Maple Storm Two was one of the Canadian Forces pre-deployment exercises for soldiers who where deploying to Canadian Forces bases and operating units in Afghanistan. Canada first sent troops to Afghanistan in 2002 as a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks by al-Qaeda led operatives. As of April 2011, 155 Canadians have been killed as part of the mission. Canada is set to withdraw their troops and other assets from the region in 2011. Copyright Mark Spowart. 519-701-2334. spowartmark@gmail.com www.markspowart.photoshelter.com
